FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and drizzle, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy storms.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
No, machine washing will likely damage the wax coating and the corduroy accents. Always opt for spot cleaning.
What is the fit like?
The jacket has a regular fit, providing a comfortable, classic silhouette that allows for layering underneath.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape and prevent the wax from becoming tacky.
Is the jacket warm enough for winter?
It is lightly padded and intended for transitional seasonal weather, so it may require additional layering in freezing temperatures.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the lower patch pockets are spacious enough for everyday carry items, including most modern smartphones.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the fabric
The wax coating may have worn off; consider professional re-waxing to restore water repellency.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Ensure the fabric is pulled taut and clear of the zip track; you may gently rub a bit of graphite or wax on the teeth to lubricate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is designed for easy integration into an existing wardrobe. Because it features a dry wax coating, it is important to avoid standard dry cleaning or harsh detergents, which can strip away the protective finish. If the jacket becomes dirty, spot-clean the exterior with a damp cloth and cold water. Allow the garment to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Over time, the effectiveness of the water-repellent treatment may diminish; consult a professional specialized in waxed cotton care if you wish to re-wax the surface or restore the original performance.
